They Are Not as They Seem

You see rough and loud monster.
I see a gentle and quiet soul.
You see a monster made from tar and molasses
I see a soul made from the purest silk.
You see a monster who lies.
I see a innocent child, who knows only truth.
You see a darkness that swallows everything.
I see a blinding light that gives.
You smell a monster of rotting flesh.
I smell all the good things in the world.
You see yellow and chipped teeth, a ugly monster.
I see a creature of perfection.
You look at them as if they are worthless.
I see a creature that has worth far greater than yours.
You see a fire that destroys everything.
I see a flame that keeps me warm on a cold night.
Don't judge this "Monster" because you are a monster too.
